TitleThis should contain the title of an article, full names of authors and institutional affiliation(s). If several authors, and institutions are listed, they should be clearly indicated with which department and institution each author is affiliated.

IntroductionThe main purpose of the study and results achieved in the study should be described in a brief and concise style. Authors should include background information that is related to the purpose but omit irrelevant information in the text. Literature ReviewsThe purpose of the literature review is to analyze critically a segment of a published body of knowledge through summary, classification, and comparison of prior research studies, reviews of literature, and theoretical articles. MethodsThe description must be detailed to allow the replication. Procedures that have been published previously should not be described in detail. However, new or significant modifications of previously published procedures need full descriptions. Method of statistical analyses and criteria of significance level should be described. ResultsThis part should be presented logically using text, table and illustrations. Excessive repetition of table or figure contents should be avoided. At the end of results, emphasize or summarize only important observations. DiscussionsThe data should be interpreted concisely without repeating material already presented in the results section. It should be considered the results in relation to any hypotheses advanced in the introduction. This may include an evaluation of the methodology and of the relationship of new information to the knowledge in that field. ConclusionsConclusion should be clear to understand authors can combine the Conclusion and Discussion. AcknowledgementsSpecify contributions for the article, such as administrative support, technical assistance, critical review of the manuscript, and financial support. ReferencesAll references cited in the text must appear in the References section, and all items in this section should be cited in the text.

Figures and Tables All body paragraphs should follow the following style guide throughout Figures and tables that should be placed in suitable spaces.

Bitmap images should be of 300 dpi resolution at least unless the resolution is intentionally set to a lower level for scientific reasons. If a bitmap image has labels, the image and labels should be embedded in separate layers. Tables should be cited consecutively in the text. Every table must have a descriptive title and if numerical measurements are given, the units should be included in the column heading. Vertical rules should not be used. These should clarify or supplement the manuscript text, not duplicate the text. They should be sized as this page as illustrated as follows. Do not use suffix letters to number tables and figures; that is, label them as Table 5, Table 6, and Table 7 or Figure 5, Figure 6, and Figure 7 instead of 5, 5a, and 5b. uploads/s3/ guide - 2023-05-29T215303.283.pdf
